French illustrator Jean Jullien draws witty illustrations that point out our absurd addictions to technology, social media and our smartphones. The artist is famous for mocking our obsession, which cuts us off from the real life, leaving us alienated and lonely.
Besides his satire, Jullien also uses social networks as a political platform. He is widely known for creating the "Peace for Paris" symbol which has become a worldwide sign of solidarity with France after the Paris attacks.

Week by week artists have only one point of view "machines are enslaving the people". Always the same smartphones grow, people shuting something (food, other objects, event or other), people live on Social media while being with other people. True Witch-hunt of XXI century. That starts to be annoying, please (begging) some new point -.-
I rarely ever see those artists - or any artist, really - celebrating everything that we can now accomplish and have access to with technology like this. If we didn't have this, they wouldn't have any other audience than the frustrated people from, let's face it, the generations that don't understand the technology or the people who think it's either analog, or digital. It's not. It can be both. I HAS to be both. It kills me that such potents instruments for change get put down because hurr durr technology is making us stupid. Protests are organized and news not making it to the mainstream media are shared. We find people from so many horizons with such different experiences online, and we have a world of information at the tip of our fingers. Social medias saved my life in so many ways that the non-digital life could never have. Instead of putting it down, celebrate and harness it. Otherwise, you're just dragging everyone down for trafic and ad revenue.
I completely agree with you. I'm so annoyed that I will eventually come up with something in defense. Currently I'm (how ironic) too busy being productive with graduating university abroad, actively looking for a job and taking side projects.
Since I got my first Kindle (which by the way I was strongly against in the beginning), I can't imagine myself taking a 1000-page "traditional" book on the subway any more. There is no shame in having something that lets you carry your favourite books around in your purse... especially if it can fit several hundred books at the same time.
Same me. I'm not against book buying, but, men! They are incredible expensive, even the used ones, where I live. I read a lot for school and lots of novels by download on the internet. And Save for paper books too, but thanks to having everything on my cellphone I'm reading everything I wanted to read.
Isn't it ironic that these are all digitally made illustrations? Also, that they're posting and sharing their illustrations online so that fellow technophobes can all complain together about how technology is ruining society,...online,..with their tablets/computers/smart phones/laptops..
Whenever I see an article like this one, there is always a comment just like yours. What I can conclude is that you're not getting a message. Of course they are using all of that to post/share it, otherwise it wouldn't reach those who are addicted to their phones.
Oh my, how condescending you are. Fair enough. But I don't think that you're getting technology is also improving our lives in many ways. Business is more efficient, technology is an invaluable tool in learning, medical technology saves lives every day, and as you can see from the pictures above, it is also a wonderful way to create art. But I suppose we're talking about the "entertainment" aspect to technology. Well, It brings people together as much as it pushes them apart, it completely depends on the individual. I see many articles like this hyping the "misuse" of technology but I have yet to see ANYONE as extreme as in these pictures. People get onto people for taking pictures of their food..fine whatever but its ironic that you're getting annoyed for them for socializing with their friends and showing them their food, and then turn around and say they're not socializing enough. Me thinks people just like to complain.
